EE's 4G plans are out.

[Waitey]

I barely get signal, never mind 3G or even 4g!

Same!

 

[DrR]

I believe Germany have had it for a while, wonder what it's like over there.

 

[eves]

Sim only plans out Friday 9th November.

Sorry for the stupid question I'm not that good with stuff like this, I'm on a contract with orange that I've had for a couple months will this make any difference to me?

the currently shambolic 3g network will likely become even worse. Shouldn't change anything to do with your contract though

 

[eves]

What's up with the 3G network at the moment ??? If I sign up for a 12 month sim only package do I have a 14 day cooling off period if I find its cack ?

 

[Dan519]

it's crap. My card machine for example, has worked reliably from 3g for almost 2 years, but in the last month, it takes sometimes as long as 10 minutes to find the network, then puts up signal strength warnings. On my phone it seems to cycle constantly from no data signal to 5 bars of HSDPA

 

[eves]

Wow..... Sat in EE shop this morning for 90 mins trying to get a new sim only 4g deal. No one had a clue what they was doing didn't get anywhere and have only just found out EE are delaying the sim only contracts for 2 weeks

 

[JD]

Not sure if this should really have a new thread, but meh. Vodafone/O2 etc users will be pleased we finally have news (not to mention the affect on the UK economy of £1.3bn...);

I just went on to the website and ordered my 4GEE sim as my signal etc is shocking..

didnt even know you could order them yet. But it says the coverage is good in my areas..

Anyone else done this?

 

[Luke.]

Put that request in yesterday and my SIM card turned up today.. I followed the instructions to switch and my t-mobile card deactivated.. Then I put the EE sim in and it worked straight away.. It's bloody quick compared to 3G..

 

[eves]

So we're you on a monthly contract ???

 

[Ronnie R]

Luke post a couple of pictures. Use the Speedtest app.

A friend of mine is getting 11mb. I get 6-7mb on my 3G

 

[Luke.]

So we're you on a monthly contract ???

yep with t-mobile.. Just gotta ring them to check its gone over.. But it did everything is said it did and I'm paying only £5 more a month for 3gb instead of 2gb

Will do it a bit later mate..

 

[Luke.]

I'm getting 15mb/s download and 7.9mb/s upload.. Will post a pic later..

 

[eves]

I'm still waiting for the sim only deals to launch..... It's taking forever!

 

[Luke.]

Here you go lads..

 

[Gaz.]

That's 20mb faster than our home line. FML.

 

[Ronnie R]

Impressive speed!

I will one day move over to EE. But I think it might be worth holding out for o2.

 

[eves]

O2 won't be till the back end of next year though ? Besides my iphone 5 won't work on it either ?

 

[Tom]

Correct.

 

[eves]

So I may as well go for EE. Cheers Tom

 

[Tom]

Voda is a better option.

 

[Krispwee]

SIMO deals should be available now online, in-store is still in testing. Same tariff but £15 cheaper and 12 months.

 

[eves]

Signed up today online to a 12 month sim only plan. 1gb data and free calls/texts for £26 p/m. Will see how it goes. If I don't like it ill cancel within 14 days and go back to O2

 

[Dan@SJM]

I've upgraded to 4G, can't get it where I live, however I am At the Hub and have LTE coverage, 19mbps d/l.

 

[sneeks]

I'm not impressed with the EE tariff prices and currently get excellent download speeds via Three.

 

[eves]

Is that via 4G??

My EE SIM card arrived today. Haven't had a 4g network signal yet but just tested the speed of the 3G signal. So quick.

 

[sneeks]

Is that via 4G??

No that is DC-HSDPA on Three, or Ultrafast to give it a easier name to remember

 

[eves]

Had EE 4G sim only plan for just over a month now and wow what a difference in speed and coverage compared to my old O2 network. Got 25 mbps at Westfields yesterday.

 

[Luke.]

Here's my best so far..

 

[DrR]

Why do you need 40mb+ on a phone? Genuine question.

 

[jenic]

Why do you need 40mb+ on a phone? Genuine question.

I agree, I get above 3Mbps most of the time on three and I don't ever see me needing more on a phone.

 

[.Ben.]

Why do you need 40mb+ on a phone? Genuine question.

Good point.

 

[adamlstr]

Why do you need 40mb+ on a phone? Genuine question.

Because Kevin Bacon says so?

 

[Luke.]

Why not? It's very rarely that high. But for tethering with a laptop it'll be spot on.
